"""JAM 5, line 5 instrument (founder, sharpening Grok's LINE 4): a direct "distinct tuple count" for L>=8 is DEGENERATE, not new information - the line-3 return-time probe already proved zero collisions there, which by definition means every visited (L+1)-tuple was distinct; counting them again just re-derives N-L+1. The genuinely testable version of Grok's real question ("does the recursion's coupling create detectable non-uniform structure?") is a CONDITIONAL ENTROPY test on a small, fully-saturable state space: for M small enough that M^2 << N (so every (a,b) pair gets many samples), build the empirical distribution of Q(n) mod M given (Q(n-2) mod M, Q(n-1) mod M). If Q were close to independent of its own recent residues mod M, conditional entropy should sit near the unconditional (marginal) entropy, log2(M) at max. Real structure would show as conditional entropy well BELOW the marginal - some (a,b) pairs sharply predicting the next residue.""" import math from collections import defaultdict N_MAX = 2_000_000 TEST_M = [54, 108, 162] def build_q(n_max: int): Q = [0] * (n_max + 1) Q[1] = 1 if n_max >= 2: Q[2] = 1 for n in range(3, n_max + 1): Q[n] = Q[n - Q[n - 1]] + Q[n - Q[n - 2]] return Q def entropy_bits(counts): total = sum(counts.values()) h = 0.0 for c in counts.values(): p = c / total h -= p * math.log2(p) return h def main(): print("building Q(1..%d) ..." % N_MAX) Q = build_q(N_MAX) print("\n M | marginal H (bits) | log2(M) | mean conditional H | cells | avg samples/cell | H-drop") for M in TEST_M: marg = defaultdict(int) joint = defaultdict(lambda: defaultdict(int)) for n in range(3, N_MAX + 1): a, b, c = Q[n - 2] % M, Q[n - 1] % M, Q[n] % M marg[c] += 1 joint[(a, b)][c] += 1 H_marg = entropy_bits(marg) total_n = N_MAX - 2 H_cond = 0.0 for (a, b), dist in joint.items(): n_ab = sum(dist.values()) H_cond += (n_ab / total_n) * entropy_bits(dist) cells = len(joint) avg_samples = total_n / cells print(" %3d | %17.4f | %7.4f | %19.4f | %5d | %17.1f | %.4f" % (M, H_marg, math.log2(M), H_cond, cells, avg_samples, H_marg - H_cond)) print("\nHonest reading: H-drop near 0 means conditioning on the last two") print("residues barely sharpens the next one - consistent with near-independence") print("at this resolution.
